Audio Transcript

  1. In the last video we learned about nonfiction text
  2. features such as the glossary and the index.
  3. In
  4. this video. I'm going to model how we utilize
  5. or use these text features to help us understand what we're reading about.
  6. Here is a nonfiction book about bees.
  7. Hello, bees,
  8. bees are bugs that fly.
  9. They make a buzzing sound.
  10. Bees have striped bodies. They have one pair of wings.
  11. Some bees have sharp stingers. Hm.
  12. I've noticed that there is a word that is highlighted in a different color
  13. in other books.
  14. The words might be in bold meaning darker than the other letters.
  15. This means that this word is important
  16. and so we will find it
  17. or we can find it
  18. in the glossary.
  19. Bees live in big groups.
  20. They build nests in trees or rocks.
  21. A bee nest is called a hive.
  22. Bees. Pick up pollen and nectar from flowers.
  23. They make nectar into honey.
  24. I noticed there are two more words that are highlighted in a different color.
  25. This must mean that they are very important
  26. pollen and nectar.
  27. A baby bee comes out of an egg first. It looks like a worm
  28. but it grows quickly
  29. bees fly around to find food.
  30. They keep the hive clean,
  31. they feed baby bees
  32. good babies.
  33. Here is a diagram
  34. that shows the different parts of a bee
  35. and each part of the body is labeled.
  36. This also helps us understand more about the bee.
  37. We've reached the glossary
  38. rather than saying glossary. It says words to know.
  39. This is just another way of saying glossary
  40. underneath words to know.
  41. You can see that the words are in abc order.
  42. It starts with the word nectar.
  43. Nectar
  44. is a sweet liquid that flowers make
  45. pollen,
  46. a yellow powder that flowers make
  47. stingers, pointy body parts
  48. that can sting.
  49. Now, I know what these words mean
  50. and the information in the pages make a little bit more sense.
  51. Now
  52. we've reached the index.
  53. The index is a list of topics that are found in the book
  54. that we've already read
  55. next to the topics are page numbers.
  56. If we ever want to go back to a specific page,
  57. we can look in the index
  58. and find the page number,
  59. then we can go back to that page number
  60. and read more on that topic.
  61. As you can see the glossary index are very important text features.
  62. They truly help us understand more
  63. about what we're reading.
  64. I hope this video
  65. really helps you
  66. on how to use these text features
  67. when it's time to do it on your own.
